I decided to take some pics of my guild's Illidan kill last night, in case no one has seen the fight before.

The fight opens up with Akama giving a big speech about how we're going to defeat Illidan and retake Outland, and Illidan closes with his famous line "You are not prepared!" as he draws his weapons.

Here's some phase 1 action, he's tanked by a warrior, and kited in a small area faced away from the raid.

In phase 2 Illidan takes to the sky and throws down his two warglaives, which spawn giant fire elementals that you have to defeat, and kite in a very small area, while Illidan is shooting flames at you and whatnot, it's rather chaotic.

Phase 3 is the same as phase 1 really, in phase 4 Illidan lets loose and brings out his inner demon:

In the end we beat him again, getting our 2nd Warglaive of Azzinoth drop, completing a set for one of our rogues:

And that's that, just thought some people might be interested, it's definitely one of the coolest encounters in the game, and one of the most important story-wise._________________"The problem with quotes on the Internet is the validity of them." -Abraham Lincoln
